Nader’s a scapegoat for Democratic incompetence!

He was trying to get blood from the mythical turnip.

Poor Satchel always has issues :-(

But we’re at the edge of a new revolution. With the merging of infotech and Artificial Intelligence the whole world will change. What’ s up will be down and what’s down will be up. Jobs will be different and it will make the industrial revolution look tame.

Wow even the pets are not safe from that bllsht

We all have our own little dream world. My leg already hurts and I had great dreams. It’s when I woke up to RUN it started hurting. It’s all in the mind. All in the mind. I didn’t even put on my running shoes yet!

Dems are making a mistake in not running Tulsi Gabbard as either prez or vice prez; probably because she’s too honest, and insulted the Dark Queen, Hillary.

In March 2009, H1N1, was identified in Mexico before spreading quickly across the rest of the world. . The Obama administration acted early and decisively to prevent the swine flu pandemic from devastating the U.S. instructing every federal agency to play a role in preparing the U.S. for a pandemic. H1N1 was first detected in the U.S. on April 15, 2009 and within a week, the CDC had already begun working to develop a vaccine and activated its Emergency Operations Center to respond. By April 28, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new CDC test to detect H1N1 infections. There were an estimated 12,469 deaths from H1N1 in the United States, because they weren’t prepared and didn’t respond quickly enough.

Trump says that “No one could have seen this coming” referring to the pandemic. Well, someone did. In December 2014, then-President Barack Obama warned the United States: “There may and likely will come a time in which we have both an airborne disease that is deadly,” Obama said. “And in order for us to deal with that effectively, we have to put in place an infrastructure—not just here at home, but globally—that allows us to see it quickly, isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly, so that if and when a new strain of flu like the Spanish flu crops up five years from now or a decade from now, we’ve made the investment and we’re further along to be able to catch it.” They sat up a White House Pandemic response team, which had clinics worldwide, including the area of China where Covid 19 originated. In 2014 during the Ebola outbreak, The Obama administration helped create 15 treatment centers in the region, provided PPE and medical relief supplies to the countries, and conducted aggressive contact tracing to identify how the virus was spreading to limit its spread beyond Western Africa. Only one person in the United States died from Ebola after traveling from West Africa to Dallas, Texas.

To help the incoming administration be better prepared to fight future pandemics, officials under President Obama took what they learned from these battles and prepared a 69-page playbook. written by Obama’s National Security Council, which detailed strategies for when and how to obtain personal protective equipment, and included recommendations on how the government should move quickly to detect and contain potential outbreaks, secure additional funding, and possibly even invoke the Defense Production Act to compel private companies to produce needed medical supplies.

.Outgoing Obama administration officials briefed Trump’s top aides on the potential dangers of a pandemic. But the Trump administration ignored the playbook Instead, spending weeks downplaying the virus, which they knew about in late December, spouting rampant misinformation and contradicting their own medical and scientific advisors. They wasted nearly two months needed to bolster the federal stockpile of critically needed supplies and equipment. By then, it was too late. Trump likes naming things after himself. This is one he truly has earned: The Trump Plague.

What’s nice is that there’s no third party candidate getting any attention this time around. A recent poll of people who voted either Green or Libertarian party last time found that two out of three are planning to vote for Biden.

Yeah, unlike GOP Vampires that praise 17 year old killers.

I feel kind of bad for Nader. Karma caught up with him:

If Gore had won, the FAA would not have been packed with Bush pals, and the 737Max would have been genuinely regulated.

This is hilarious! : D

Hey, don’t be badmouthing my man Ralph. I still haven’t decided between him and Larry Lessig as my write-in candidate for the general election.

No, he is required by law to pay you at least minimum wage. That’s why he can only afford to hire you for 30 hours. Better go get another job.

isn’t there a nice separate page for political cartoons? I come here to avoid politics.

Ok, less politics and more funny or I’ll unfollow!☹

Does Satchel have a five o’clock shadow?

Dressed from head to toe in black, a whole planeload of them. One had a tattoo.

Oh CHRIST. Hey since we’re discussing politics, let’s add religion and sex. I’m just glad I used my running shoes. I’ll run for THAT.
